obligatory political remark

Here's the deal. Whatever is currently happening in the national economy was not covered in Econ 101, and therefore sails way over my head. (If someone could draw the supply and demand curves, well then we'd be in business.)

Additionally, beyond the gas pump, I have experienced no more economic hardship than usual. I spent $42 on CDs yesterday, which for me is high-dollar spending.

Therefore I have no clue whether or not I support the bailout plan, which is why I'm reading news articles about it this morning and trying to figure out what on earth is going on. And lo and behold, there's George Bush to tell me what to think!

"Every American should keep in mind that a vote for this bill is a vote to prevent economic damage to you and your community," he said.

After my initial surprise that George W. Bush is still in charge of this country, I am reminded why the pressure behind my eyes thickens at the sight of him.


P.S. mad paint skillz, i no.

I hate economic issues because I cannot get easily outraged since I sucked at high school Econ (still probably better than Palin, burn). Anyway, if Bush is backing it, it is a safe bet to assume the bailout is evil and/or stupid.
I am just glad the Maverick (TM) suspended his campaign or else the economy would be in the shitter. (Or is his campaign running again?)
